V-Day

On Our Radar: Today's Feminist News Roundup

Bitch HQ post by Hannah Siobhan ... on February 14, 2013 - 9:03am; tagged Bang With Friends, BDS, Judith Butler, One Billion Rising, pink loves consent, V-Day.

Happy V-Day Bitch Lovers!

  • This V-Day, show your solidarity in ending gender-based violence by joining One Billion Rising – a worldwide anti-rape protest. To find a rising happening near you today, take a look at the handy dandy event finder. [One Billion Rising]
  • Maybe being ‘single’ today is actually a site of radical queer resistance. Check out this post-colonial/queer Single’s Manifesto, it might make you not feel so bad. [Queer Libido]
  • Meanwhile, in non V-Day related news, college health plans are finally starting to cover transition related surgeries.[NY Times]
  • It’s not every day giant corporations such as Victoria’s Secret get hijacked by savvy feminist groups in an anti-rape campaign, so we felt it necessary to interview the brains behind operation Pink Loves Consent. Bitch web editor Sarah Mirk interviews Baltimore's FORCE collective. [Bitch Media]
  • The beginning of a sexual revolution? Or more heteronormative, sexist shenanigans? Guess we should have seen this one coming - Facebook’s latest app: Bang With Friends. [DNA India]
  • Judith Butler’s talk last week at Brooklyn College about using boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) to protest the state of Israel’s policies toward Palestine spurs massive controversy. [The Feminist Wire]
  • Good grief. North Carolina is actually considering passing a bill that could send women to prison for going topless in public.  [ABC News]
  • To end on a more hopeful note, according to The Guardian, women across the globe are joining forces in unprecedented ways to combat sexual violence. [The Guardian]

That's all for today friends! Let us know if we missed anything in the comments.

Happy Valentine's Day from Bitch!

Bitch HQ post by Kelsey Wallace on February 14, 2010 - 12:09pm; tagged friends of Bitch, V-Day, Valentine's Day.
Hey Bitch fans! It's Valentine's Day, and whether you and your main squeeze have a romantic evening planned, or your romantic evening consists of drinking beers on the couch and passing out in front of the Winter Olympics (we've heard some people do that...) you can count on Bitch to be your Valentine. Look! We even got you a present:

So have a great Valentine's Day! And if you aren't in the romantic mood, remember that Eve Ensler's V-Day Organization hosts events all over the world today to support an end to violence against women and girls, and that's a cause we can all get behind. And never forget that shit, you is fine.

Cupid, Draw Back Your Bow...

Love / Shove post by Kelsey Wallace on February 14, 2009 - 1:40pm; tagged Feminism, human hearts, V-Day, Valentine's Day.
necco_human_heart.jpg Happy Valentine's Day! Okay, we all know that Valentine's Day is a vapid, capitalist, heteronormative holiday. The red and pink, the candy, the cards, the weird pressure to be in a relationship, it's all kind of annoying. But that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun, does it? Read on for some non-traditional Valentines, and to share your own thoughts on Cupid's (or Hallmark's?) holiday.
